Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
The plug of a plug and receptacle connector has an outer hollow cylindrical coupling ring rotatable with respect to the plug body and includes internal threads that cooperate directly with threads on the plug body outer surface. Rotation of the coupling ring serves to drive the plug and receptacle toward or away from each other depending on the direction of rotation thereby connecting and releasing the connector parts respectively. Resilient inter-, face seals compensate for accumulated tolerances of the assembled connector parts thereby obviating the need for a separate threaded coupling nut prevalent in prior art structure.
